Reading and borrowing during Remote Learning
Although we are not at school, there are still ways to access our library so you can keep on reading!
What have you read recently? If your child sees you reading, they are more likely to do it themselves. You might read newspapers, articles, blogs or other online texts, you can talk to them about these texts. Even if your choice is ‘too adult’ for them, chat to them about the appropriate aspects of what you read and what you like about reading.Click and Collect
The JRC is excited to offer a Click and Collect service to allow students to borrow from our physical collection.
